This was sort of a sequel to “Our Mother Earth”, /pip/Forum47/HTML/001316.html also For Earth Day April 22. Earth Born  We watch the movies, from our space ship Homes about a place so few have known and we cry as they grow old and die.. they are the last of the Earth Born, left alive They teach us truth, they plead to the youth and they sing everyday, of a life gone away their are still 21 on the ship, Destiny's run and a few on the others, in our search for another... We sit in awe at their every word. the stories they tell about the humming birds and a strange little wonder, that makes us cry with brittle little wings, the butterfly. A lot was lost on that now barren rock, And the end came quicker, then they had thought Only a third of the ships had left, When the atmosphere was ripped from her caring grip. Most of the Videos and recorded images are gone, On wave number two, when they’d have come along, And all the embryo’s of all the precious life, That had died, when the gas created the long night. Wave number three, would have carried the Zoo’s Oh, I wished I had seen that funny little bird, Its… or, I mean.. it goes cock a doodle doo…. I think their just joking, just being a fool. It was pollution and greed, turned the blue sky red, The oceans then died, all the fish were soon dead, And they said they couldn’t help it, lies of the dead, But the Earth is still quiet, so silent, and so dead… They are the Earth Born, the last from our home, They make us laugh, with songs, of rain on the corn, The snow in the mountains, the sands on the shores, The grass on hill and dale, that feeds the cotton tails.. It makes us all sad, to know it’s all gone. But, we remember the stories, they sang in their songs, And, we write it all down, with a grin and a frown, they really are the last of the Earth born ones. As they pass in the night, they give us their love They say that their soul will encircle, the Earth from above And in time it will rest, in rebirth we all trust, The last of the Earth Born, the last of their blood.

Holy Cow!!! and that is what "happened" to the earth that we once knew? I am afraid it sounds more fact than fiction! Hugs, ME |
